[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 53086, member: 1550"] I understand. I have a son whose earliest diagnosis was: ADHD/ODD/anxiety disorder/cognitive disability not otherwise specified/speech delay He turned out to be on the autism spectrum, albeit high functioning, but it's hard to diagnosis. so he didn't get the diagnosis until he was 11. I'd take my son for a neuropsychologist exam if it were me, and I knew back then what I know now. My son is now doing GREAT with all the help. Here's a test you can take to see if your son leans towards Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). YOu still need to print it out and show the results to a professional and, in my experience again, a neuropsychologist is best: [url="http://www.childbrain.com/pddassess.html"]http://www.childbrain.com/pddassess.html[/url] Parents who I post with on a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) board feel it is very accurate, if your answers are honest. Is he in interventions at school? My son started them before he turned two! And he WAS NOT obviously on the autism spectrum. We pushed for them. My son did not respond to therapy because he didn't really "get" it. Now he's a happy kid--amazing what the right interventions and treatment can do. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
